Many things and not all

Berkeley, Sunday, August 31, 2025 9:56 PM

I am typing this outside of the library.

They were supposed to open until 10 PM.

But they closed 15 minutes earlier.

That is unusual, but I see it can be a good practice for the big library. At the end what is the point to get to the library 15 minutes before it closes, even if it is for writing. But sometimes, one needs to scan, etc.

I was not sure about writing a blog post. At the end there are several things I can get through writing, prayer, reflection, sacrament of confession, talking, etc.

So, is it a distraction?

It is not. Usually, it can be a guiding route.

It is interesting that a person just walked in front of me waiving and saying hi. But I do not think I know the person.

Campus is a beautiful place.

Anyways, I need to get rid of all the other distractions, which I have shared.

This might continue to become a route, but There Is A Plan and A Star of The Sea.

And probably effects of dispersion or disconnection could be at times a sign of not being on the plan.

Of course, there are temptations, a few times confusion, but how to follow the lead?

By loving.

But then, progress is still measured in what one is committed to.

Then, comes trust and particularly faith.

And good distractions, reacting to what one has to, that is charity.

Other distractions are sloth, which is choosing to not work.

I do not know about what people say about one apple per day keeps the doctor away. Keeping the doctor away is a good thing, but buying expensive insurance because it is compulsory it is a business not too easy to make sense, but I understand now.

One strives for the Lord. Then, passion for the field. Passion for studying, passion for learning. Passion for teaching. Passion for living. I must reawake the loving passion. But the love for telling the true stays there. How to do more.

Keep involve and finding that people. But do not forget about charity. Living in community is also a bless.
